There are no conclusive studies that demonstrate radio waves are harmful to your health. (Let's hope it's not the case as you are bombarded with them everyday!) Cell phones can transmit up to ~3-watts and they are literally AGAINST your head!So a new midland MXT575 has a whopping 50 watts - does that mean there’s simply more transmitting power?
Or does that also mean more watts will run theu connections, so the antenna will need to be further away from passengers to be safer?
Is there a higher risk of electrical fire?
I also don't think there's a big risk of electrical fire - certainly not from the transmit side (coax, antenna, etc.) However, these high-power radios are going to consume a LOT more power. So, wiring them into the Jeep is important and needs to be done correctly and, of course using the proper fused connections.
